After Ye Junfei finished speaking, he let go of her hand, turned around and left.
Lin Xiuyan had always known him well; Ye Junfei was clearly angry, and very angry at that.
She knew that she had spoken without thinking and acted too impulsively because of Xu Qianting's death.
She calmed down a bit and realized that going to see Princess Anle now would be a very unwise thing to do.
She wasn't sure whether Ye Junfei was involved in this matter, since he acted arrogantly and there was no reason to reason with him.
She took a deep breath, comforted Commander Xu, and then walked listlessly toward the Lin residence.
She thought she had made thorough preparations for today's events, but the result was still like this, which was a big blow to her.
She sniffed softly, telling herself she had to stay calm. Even without Xu Qianting, she still had to protect her family.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Lin residence, Wu Dao hurriedly came out from inside.
As soon as he saw her, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness is back just in time. The Prince is throwing a tantrum right now. Go and appease him."
Lin Xiuyan didn't even lift her eyelids, completely ignoring him.
Asking her to persuade Ye Junfei at this point would be a huge joke.
Seeing her like this, Wu Dao felt a little anxious.
He hurriedly said, "Princess Consort, you have to coax the Prince, otherwise Wu Ge and I are afraid we'll be in big trouble today!"
"I'm going to find a doctor. You must go and comfort the young master!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyan finally reacted and asked, "Who's sick? Do we need to see a doctor?"
Wu Dao replied, "Who else could it be but Xu Qianting!"
Lin Xiuyan was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Who did you say is sick?"
Wu Dao explained, "Last night, the Crown Prince set a trap for Princess Anle, tricking her into transferring Xu Qianting from the City Lord's Mansion to the capital."
"Then they made me rescue someone halfway through the journey. I led my men and killed all the people escorting him. It was only with great difficulty that I managed to rescue Xu Qianting."
"The young master originally instructed that after the person was rescued, he should be taken to the Lin residence first. His injuries are very serious, so we need to go and fetch a doctor as soon as possible."
Lin Xiuyan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and immediately realized that the corpse she saw in the city lord's mansion today was not Xu Qianting.
She truly wronged Ye Junfei today!
Her feelings were somewhat complicated. Ye Junfei, who was a ruthless killer and hated Xu Qianting, would actually take the initiative to save Xu Qianting.
This sounds like a fairy tale, but if it weren't true, Wu Dao wouldn't say it.
She hurriedly grabbed Wu Dao and said, "Don't bother looking for a doctor. I'm the best doctor in Chongqing at treating external injuries. Take me to see Xu Qianting."
Wu Dao responded and continued muttering on the way, "Princess Consort, after you treat Xu Qianting's injuries, go and comfort the Prince!"
"The Crown Prince was really scary today. I've been by his side for so many years and I've never seen him so angry!"
When he brought Xu Qianting back today, he happened to run into Ye Junfei.
Ye Junfei glanced at them then, and he felt as if he had been slowly tortured by that gaze.
Then Ye Junfei drew his sword and said he was going to cut off Xu Qianting's head.
Wu Dao thought about how he had gone to great lengths to save Xu Qianting, only to have him killed by Ye Junfei. Hadn't all his efforts been in vain?
Furthermore, he and Xu Qianting had fought so many times before, and there was some friendship between them, so he immediately protected Xu Qianting with all his might.
Then Ye Junfei said, "That's true. Killing him with one sword would be too easy for him. We should at least burn him to death with fire."
When Ye Junfei said these words, Wu Dao felt an overwhelming killing intent.
At the same time, he also sensed Ye Junfei's helplessness and sadness.
Wu Dao hurriedly called Wu Ge over to watch over Xu Qianting, while he went out to find Lin Xiuyan.
After seeing Lin Xiuyan, he didn't want to go back to see Ye Junfei, fearing he would be punished.
He then thought of finding a doctor, but Lin Xiuyan became the doctor.
Lin Xiuyan ignored Wu Dao's rambling. When she saw Xu Qianting lying unconscious on the bed, her feelings were complicated.
Xu Qianting looked truly miserable at this moment: his face was completely bloodless, and his lips were bluish-purple;
His body was covered with numerous whip marks, some of which were bleeding, while others were swollen and festering.
Lin Xiuyan quickly took his pulse and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qianting's injuries looked serious, but most of them were external injuries and not particularly serious.
She wrote out a prescription, instructed the servants to fetch the medicine, and also took out wound medicine, instructing Wu Dao to apply it to Xu Qianting.
Wu Dao tugged at her sleeve and said, "I'll leave these matters to the Crown Princess. Can you go and appease the Crown Prince now?"
There's no need for Wu Dao to urge her on this. Lin Xiuyan did indeed misunderstand Ye Junfei today, and she should apologize to him for both the sentiment and the reason.
She searched the Lin residence and finally found Ye Junfei by the iron-smelting furnace.
When she arrived, he was forging iron, and Wu Ge was helping him operate the bellows.
Wu Ge breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Xiuyan and mouthed "help" to her.
Lin Xiuyan coughed lightly and said, "I'll help the young master operate the bellows. You go and do your work!"
Wu Ge hurriedly replied, "Yes, thank you for your hard work, Princess Consort."
After he finished speaking, he used his lightness skill to run away very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Ye Junfei was too terrifying today; he was afraid of being beaten if he ran too slowly.
Lin Xiuyan sat in the position of operating the bellows and glanced at Ye Junfei cautiously.
He was wearing a very thin shirt, his chest was half-open, the temperature by the furnace was high, and he was drenched in sweat from constantly forging iron.
His clothes clung halfway to his body, perfectly showcasing his physique.
The muscles in his arms and chest were revealed with his movements, and his whole being was full of powerful beauty.
His face had lost its usual gentleness, replaced by a chilling murderous intent.
The red mole at the corner of his eye looked duller than before.
Lin Xiuyan knew that this was how he looked when he was extremely angry.
Lin Xiuyan was somewhat afraid of Ye Junfei's behavior.
However, she has always been a person who dares to take responsibility, and at this moment she said directly, "I misunderstood you today, and I apologize to you."
Ye Junfei ignored her and continued to pound the iron block heavily.
His hand gripped the hammer, the upward arc of which carried an extreme chill.
With a loud clang, the impact sent sparks flying from the iron-smelting platform, a truly terrifying sight.
Looking back on what she had said earlier that day, Lin Xiuyan realized that it was quite inappropriate.
Ultimately, she was too emotional. In her moment of rage and helplessness, the image of him from her past life overlapped with the image of him in this life, and she spoke without thinking, wrongly accusing him.
However, Ye Junfei in this life is indeed different from Ye Junfei in his previous life.
He may still have a lot of blood on his hands, but he won't kill innocent people indiscriminately.
She thought for a moment and continued to explain, "Didn't I tell you before about the dream I had?"
"In my dream, Xu Qianting was implicated by me and died a terrible death."
"So I've always felt that I owe him something, and I only hope that he can live a peaceful and happy life."
